All Library Books Now Due
Dear Parents,
It has been an amazing year in the library! I loved getting to know your children and it has been a privilege to be their librarian this year. To date, our students have checked out 37,376 books!
The end of our school year is fast approaching, and it is time to return all books to the library. If your child has any library books checked out, please remind them to return them to the library by Friday, May 3rd. If your child has lost a book or it has become damaged and is no longer usable, the book will need to be paid for so that it may be replaced.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns and I will be happy to help you. Thank you so much for your support of the library and your children's reading.
Mrs. Muirhead
Estimados padres,
¡Ha sido un año increíble en la biblioteca! Me encantó conocer a sus hijos y ha sido un privilegio ser su bibliotecario este año. ¡Hasta la fecha, nuestros estudiantes han sacado prestados 37,376 libros!
El final de nuestro año escolar se acerca rápidamente y es hora de devolver todos los libros a la biblioteca. Si su hijo tiene algún libro prestado de la biblioteca, recuérdele que lo devuelva a la biblioteca antes del viernes 3 de mayo. Si su hijo ha perdido un libro o se ha dañado y ya no se puede utilizar, será necesario pagar el libro para poder reemplazarlo.
Comuníquese conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud y estaré encantado de ayudarle. Muchas gracias por su apoyo a la biblioteca y la lectura de sus hijos.

Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. You can’t find a healthy breakfast at such a low cost anywhere else. Help your child start the day right with school breakfast!
